Perhaps it is about time to change to some thicker strings?

I broke 6 E-strings on one of Mr.Milenkovics lessons, five 0.10 and one 0.11, on the exactly same note and on 3 different guitars..... (no kidding) So if You shall blame something, blame him!!!!
I think GMC shall pay for those strings we poor students are breaking in our efforts to master the guitar.

If I had a nickle for each string I snapped..
 Some good things come out of it too, if you don't have high E, so you are forced to learn new skills for playing the same licks on the B (which is now highest string)

In fact it was the high G on the 15 fret, so that would'nt be possible I guess. Btw. I still avoiding trying to play that lick of Yours, I'm scared of that note for some reason... In fact it was my right hand that cuts the string, not the bending itself..... but I will try it again when I've put on 0.12's on my strat!!! //Staffay -------------------- Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I can already hear Staffay cursing that lick after he's tried even thicker strings.

Nah, Im not cursing the lick, Im cursing the founder!!! Everytime (not lately though) when I tried to play it, I succeeded one time of ten, and the eleventh time I broke the string.... Anyway, its a very good lesson, I will say one of the best of Mr.Milenkovic. (although all of them is good!!!)

QUOTE (Crazy_Diamond @ Mar 4 2010, 02:12 AM) I have broken a lot of string on some big bend but I kind of think that the bridge as alot to do in breaking strings. Since I got my strat i'm really hard on it and I bend like crazy.... never broke a strings maybe it is a coincidence but sometimes you buy strings that are a lot less resistant. yeah, You right on this. Theoretically, You should never be able to BEND off the string - eg. then something is wrong with the bridge or even a sharp edge on some of the frets... Strats also has larger space for the string in the bridge than les paul type bridges. In most cases it's the picking technique that is wrong, hitting the string from the wrong angle or as in my case - coming down FAR too hard on the strings in general. I think that has something to do with the age, all players in my age seems to hit their guitars like crazy... //Staffay QUOTE (Kristian Hyvarinen @ Mar 4 2010, 07:28 AM) What do we learn from here? Keep your instruments clean!  Nah, Why??? If You take away all the dirt, It would be impossible for the police to do a DNA-analysis if it got stolen....

 Think I'm going to stop washing the frying pan and dip my fingers in the grease before I play guitar, just think of the killer tone you could produce in a matter of days

I haven't tried it yet myself though, but if my LP doesn't stop to smell soon, I will give it a try!!!

Also playing your guitar after working in the garden (without handwashing, of course) gives a nice twist the sound.

Ah so that explains why Gary Moore have so thick tone. When he was a shredder back in the 80ties, he discovered that he likes gardening. It makes perfect sense!

those Elixir strings last a lot more with the "new" sound, so that might be a solution for that
